Going for my dot physical here in two hours so I can start school on the 20th. Is t common for nearly all the companies I cna go with to require me to do another dot physical? Or will most accept my current one until it expires?
Is this common?

You can probably expect to do another pre-hire physical at 70% of larger carriers who hire new drivers.

as a result, many companies want you to go to thier doctor usually at orientation time, where the drug screening is done as well.
just go thru the motions. they pay for it.Ultratowel Thanks this. -

so beware.
also, NEVER volunteer too much information, and NEVER answer any questions "YES" regarding sleeping habits, like for instance, that you like to take a mid day nap......!
they will send your butt into a sleep apnea test, on your dime.....
when you get OLD like me, you WILL TAKE mid day naps, afternoon, naps, evening naps, and deep sleep naps......ALL NORMAL......!!!!!!!lovetwodrive and Chinatown Thank this. -

When I left the oil field I took a job that I ended up hating, made it two weeks. They made me get a new physical. That physical was about 17 days old when I started a different job. That company sent me for a new physical. I went to the same clinic, got to see the same doc, same everything. But the new physical was "their" physical and they paid for so I didn't really care.
